From what I have heard Yugoslavia had a vastly milder form of communism than the USSR or the others. A friend born there compared some aspects of life there favourably to the West. Amongst other things, she said that the educations system was a lot better (more rigorous) and that standards of living for educated professionals in her home town were higher than in the West (more likely to own holiday homes etc).
